I have a question about what does a "field" in tables mean?
I always see people saying "a field inside of a table", what does that mean? Is it like a key/value pair or something? can anyone give me a defintion couldn't find anything online

A field is the key in a dictionary. Reason I say dictionary is because field generally isn't used when talking about a standard array, as the index is just 1,2,3 and so on. Imagine you have a dictionary for every single player that joins your game, and a key in that dictionary is "UserId", you could loop through every player's data (which is a dictionary) and access the field "UserId" and do whatever you wish with it. Ex:
local dictionary = {
['UserId'] = 0, -- UserId is the field
['Name'] = "Bob" -- Name is the field
}
If you have any SQL table experience, visualize a table in any SQL based application which allows you to edit your web data. Every column is considered a field.
